Connection to water network

It is MANDATORY to read the additional document concerning the quality of water used for fi lling the installation. This document is included with this manual as well as in the packet with the warranty information.

This document also contains information which is PERTINENT to the WARRANTY of the material.

It is mandatory to install a new pressure relief valve (not included) set at 7 bars on the cold water inlet of the appliance. This pressure relief valve with NF branding, must be in compliance with the national standards in eff ect.

To prevent water leaking onto the tank, the pressure relief valve should never be installed above the tank.

Note :

In certain countries water kits are subject to approval.
The following fi gures are diagrams to show the standard principles of the connections to the appliance.
To prevent any risk of corrosion, connect the stainless steel tank directly onto the ground.
The pressure-relief valve should be installed as close as possible to the appliance’s cold water inlet and the water fl ow should never be hampered by any accessory (valve, pressure-reducer, etc.).
The pressure-relief valve drainage outlet should be sized according to building regulations and standards and must never be obstructed. It should be connected to a vertically draining pipe, using a funnel which allows an open space of at least 20mm and which is at least equal in diameter to the appliance’s piping connection.
If the pressure of the domestic cold water supply is higher than 5 bars, a pressure-reducer should be installed upstream from the pressure-relief valve near the outlet of the installation (a pressure of 3-4 bars is recommended).
It is advised to fi t a shut-off valve upstream from the pressure relief valve.
For installations equipped with:
- small diameter piping
- ceramic plate valves
  A domestic expansion vessel, or anti-hammer valves which are adapted to the installation should be installed as close as possible to the shut-off valve
The following materials should be used for the domestic hot water circuit:
- copper
- stainless steel
- brass
- plastic materials

Depending on the materials used in the how water circuit, incompatibilities can lead to damages due to corrosion.

Consequently, the appliance should always be connected to copper domestic hot water pipes with a cast-iron or steel link, or with dielectric connections (not included) to avoid an iron/copper galvanic bridge.

Flush the supply line piping before connecting the appliance to the domestic installation so as not to introduce any particles, metallic or otherwise, into the appliance.
Respect all standards in effect in the country of use, notably sanitation regulations and pressure safety regulations.
The maximum domestic hot water temperature at distribution points should never exceed 50o C for the toilets, and 60o C for other uses. Adequate thermostatic mixing valves should be installed to any avoid risk of burns.
In regions where water contains very high levels of limescale (TH>20°F), it is recommended to treat the water with a softener. Softened water should conform to the criteria defi ned by the country of use’s regulations.
In all cases, whether the water is softened or not, it must be in compliance with the criteria defi ned by standard DTU 60-1 addendum n°4 concerning hot water (or similar standards in the country of installation and use):
- chloride levels (cl- ) < 70 mg/L
- resistivity (comprised between 2200 and 4500 ohm/cm)
- 12°F < TH < 30°F

If any of these points have been neglected, if the water quality did not allow correct treatment within the legal framework then the warranty will be null and void.

It is strongly advised to NOT use a recirculation pump. This appliance is not intended for connection to a recirculating pump. Any recirculation will cause a signifi cant drop in the temperature of the water contained in the tank.

SET-UP

See the § «Connection to water network» schematic diagram.

Filling the water tank

It is MANDATORY to read the additional document concerning the quality of water used for fi lling the installation. This document is included with this manual as well as in the packet with the warranty information.

This document also contains information which is PERTINENT to the WARRANTY of the material.

Note: Before switching on the hot water heater, inspect the installation for weathertightness to prevent risks of leaks during operation of the installation.

The inspection of the DHW reservoir must be done only using drinking water. The water pressure of this inspection must not be more than 7 bars.

To purge the domestic water network, it is sufficient to open the hot water valve located at the highest point of the installation.
Fill the water reservoir of the hot water heater by opening the stop valves. (1)
Close the hot water valve after the water fl ow rate has stabilised and that all of the air has been purged.
Inspect the pipes in the entire installation for water tightness.

Filling the primary exchanger

Open the insulating valves of the heating circuit connected to the boiler.
Follow the instructions provided with the boiler for fi lling.
If an anti-freeze is necessary in the primary circuit, it must be compatible with the Public Hygiene regulations, and it must not be toxic. Food-grade propylene glycol is recommended. Consult the manufacturer to determine the compatibility of the anti-freeze and the materials used in the manufacturing of the tank.

Verifications before switching on

Check that the pressure relief valves (domestic water) and (heating) are properly installed and the drains are connected to the sewer.
Check that the domestic water reservoir and the primary circuit are fi lled with water.
Check that the air is properly purged from both circuits.
Check that the piping for domestic water and heating are properly connected and do not have any leaks.

There is a risk of bacterial development including Legionella pneumophila» if a minimum temperature of 60°C is not maintained in the storage tank as well as in the domestic hot water distribution network.

Note :

In the case of repetitive hot water draws in small quantities, a «stratifi cation» eff ect may develop in the tank. The upper layer of hot water in the tank may attain extremely high temperatures. A thermostatic mixing valve prevents excessively hot water from coming out of the taps.
Water heated for washing clothes, dishes, and other uses can cause severe burns.
Never leave children, elderly, infi rm, physically or visually impaired persons without supervision in the bath or shower to prevent any exposure to water which is excessively hot and which could lead to severe burns.
Never leave young children alone to draw hot water, or to fi ll their own baths.
Set the temperature of the water in compliance with usage and plumbing codes.

MAINTENANCE

Periodic inspections by the user

Check the pressure of the boiler’s manometer: it must be between 0.5 and 1.5 bar.
Carry out a visual inspection every month of the valves, connections, amd accessories to check for leaks or malfunctioning.
Inspect the domestic water pressure relief valve for proper operation.
In case of any anomalies, contact a technician or your installer.

Annual maintenance

The annual maintenance of the installation to be carried out by a qualifi ed technician must include:

Checking the pressure of the boiler’s manometer.
Manual activation of the domestic water pressure relief valve once per year. This will cause hot water to discharge from the valve.

Before draining the hot water from the pressure relief valve, ensure that it is draining directly to the sewer so as to prevent any risk of burns or resulting spills.

The discharge pipe must be open to the open air.
If the pressure relief valves «drips» periodically, it could be due to a problem of expansion or blocking of the valve.
Follow the maintenance instructions for the circulator.
Check that the valves are operating properly.

Drainage

Recommendations

Drain the tank if operation must be interrupted during the winter and it is at risk of being exposed to frost or freezing.
If the water in the primary circuit contains antifreeze, only the water tank needs to be rained.
If the heating circuit does not contain anti-freeze, both heating water and domestic water must be drained.

Connect the drainage valve (10) to the sewer with the help of a fl exible hose.
Open the drainage valve (10) and drain the water from the tank into the sewer.
Open a water valve to accelerate the draining of the tank.
Close the drainage valve (10) and the water valve after draining the primary reservoir of the tank.
Re-open the stop valve (1) on the domestic cold water (DCW) inlet.
